LABEL: Epic
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 2012
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1992
VARIANT: Picture Disc Vinyl LP
Limited picture vinyl LP pressing of this 1992 album, released to coincide with the album's 20th Anniversary. Rock albums don’t get more seismic than Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled debut, which sounds just as urgent and revolutionary as it did upon its 1992 release. This is a young band — Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk — captured forever at the peak of their powers, unleashing incisive and insightful insurrectionist rhymes over headbangingly propulsive and mind-blowingly inventive funk metal. A power assist from Tool’s Maynard James Keenan seals the deal on a stone-cold Nineties classic.
